Warning: Sexual Assault Claims
Motown music legend Smokey Robinson has been hit with two new complaints of sexual assault by his former domestic workers.
A male John Doe and a female Jane Doe have asked to be added to a lawsuit filed in May 2025 by four Jane Doe housekeepers, accusing the 85-year-old Grammy winner of sexual battery.
Rolling Stone magazine reported that the male complainant "claims he was subjected to sexual abuse while working as a car detailing valet for the Motown legend. The man, identified as John Doe, claims Robinson repeatedly fondled himself in plain view and once tried to force the man’s hand onto his erect penis."
"The new accusers stepped forward in a new motion filed in Los Angeles by the four former housekeepers who brought a $50 million lawsuit against Robinson in May," says the motion obtained by Rolling Stone.
A hearing on the matter is set for January 6th, 2026.
The initial four plaintiffs claim that Robinson "would find ways to isolate them at his homes in the San Fernando Valley and Las Vegas and force them into sexual contact despite their protests."
"Jane Doe 1 alleged Robinson sexually battered her at least seven times between January 2023 and February 2024. She claimed Robinson would take his wife to a nail salon, rush home, and then lure her into his 'blue bedroom,' where he would lock the door and rape her without using a condom."
"Jane Doe 2 alleged she worked for Robinson and his wife between May 2014 and February 2020. She claimed Robinson forced her into unwanted sexual acts on at least 23 occasions. She said Robinson would force her to perform oral sex on him before he penetrated her without using a condom."
"Robinson and his wife, who is a co-defendant in the lawsuit, responded to the initial lawsuit by filing a $500 million defamation and elder abuse cross-complaint against the first four housekeepers."
A trial in the case is set for October 11th, 2027.
